Trainees get about AU$80,000/pa. It max’s out around $120,000/pa for experienced employees (who usually have tickets for other equipment as well).
It does depend on whether you are employed directly by the mine (more) or an employee of a contracted company (usually a little less).
Employees at more remote sites generally get more to, but some companies pay for airfares or offer a bus shuttle service to offset travel costs.
Free accommodation & food while on site (in a camp) is standard as well. At the end of the day most would get about $150,000 in $ & extras.
Australia is one of the best paying countries, even US pay significantly less.
$10.00 -$20.00 per hour you generally start with a shovel to learn construction and from there you work your way up to heavy equipment
The starting salary is: $35.0275 per hour for a 40 hour work week, PLUS night and weekend pay differentials.
Equipment typically such as: cranes, pile drivers, pay-loaders and earth-movers.
You take what ever the money you spent to buy it from the store, and sell it for more than that and the truckers keep money out of the profit.
